What is proper BC (Bathroom Carry) Etiquette?

[a.bentonab]

What is proper etiquette while carrying OC or CC and using the bathroom? Do you remove your holster? Set it on the floor? Unholster? Keep it holstered and just hold your pants up? What are the differences in BC'ing at home, in a semi private public bathroom, and in a large multi stall (the one where you can see the bottom of the stall next to you) bathroom?

I had the same question when I joined. https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...-restroom_carry.html?highlight=bathroom+carry

It's been discussed here:

I urge you to strongly avoid page 3. There're pics.

edit: Sureshot129 this is the one.

I guess it depends on the holster. Depending on the type, you might be able to hang it on the hook provided for your coat.

If you put it on the floor, make sure it goes between your feet. I could just imagine someone in the next stall snatching up your pistol and running out. Talk about getting caught with your pants down.

Check all the stalls for zombies.
Flush the toilet and run out of the stall to test for explosive traps.
return to stall.
Lock door.
Pull down pants.
I'm normally commando if your not, remove boxers and what not.
Remove gun from holster.
Sit down.
Check to make sure you gun is loaded in case the butt zombie sneak attack you.
Point gun in safe direction, i normally point it to the floor or a wall in case. I will normally pick the stall at the end to help assure there is a wall. I normally do the commando hamick method or sit it on the toilet paper thingy if it is flat.

P.S. word of warning, do not kick open the stalls in a Toys'R'US as it scares the children and the soccer moms get upset

I don't use public facilities so I've never had this particular problem. I guess I would keep the gun in its holster and set them on the toilet paper dispenser.

Here is another thread about the same question. This one has a Poll about it, too.

Although, it went nowhere.

I assume the position on the throne, then put both feet on the door to prevent "unwanted entry". Hold sidearm firmly in a two-handed grip aimed center mass of stall door.

After having a serf rid my back-side of excess fecal materials, I return sidearm to holster, and I'm good to go!

I have tried this in the beginning only to find that zombies don't usually use the door. They crawl under. Just a heads up and my

Normally set it up on the tp holder if its flat enough. Most of my holsters are IWB for belt, or IWB tuckable, and with the weight of a full size 1911 may tilt one way or another. I generally find somewhere to set it, but then clean it real good when I get home!

+1 that's what i do as well. But I put toilet paper on the toilet paper thingy first because I don't know what else has been on that toilet paper thingy.
